then upgrade from ur crappy Nokia 2626 grin

obviously ur phone must be crap...ask anybody,etisalat 3.5G is d fastest among all GSM operators. I've been using mtn for more than 8yrs,d best I've had on d network since d era of 3.5G phones is about 600kb/s. while I blaze constant 1.4mb/s on eti and even up to 2.2mb/s at some hours or locations.

I use Airtel to browse... The 3G is super fast.... It depends on your location... You dey Jungle no mean say Airtel slow

Kindly explain "fast" from yuu own view!!!

I could remember back then of java phones... When we down files of just 300kb and we be like "damn this is fast"

Now everytin seems even slower.... And time moves faster....
Not until i get staedy 5mb /s i cant "fast" but manageable...

Godwinsilas: The following operators are licensed to run 4G LTE networks in Nigeria:


Smile 4G.
LTE-800. Operational in Lagos, Ibadan. Offers download speeds of up to 21 Mbps.

Spectranet.
LTE-2300. Operational in Lagos, Abuja. Offers download speeds of up to 2 Mbps.

Swift.
Operational in Lagos. Swift’s 4G was originally based on DirectOnPC’s WiMAX network which they purchased, but Swift now claims to have embraced LTE. I have been unable to find any info on their LTE technology or frequency and though.


Globacom.
LTE-2100. Inactive

CAPCOM.
LTE-1900. Inactive

A few LTE facts
While LTE offers theoretical maximum speeds of up to 150 Mbps, the global average that users experience is less than 10 Mbps.

The ten largest US cities all get less than 10Mbps in average download speeds. One report puts the average download speeds of the following US LTE networks as follows: T-Mobile: 11.2 Mbps, AT&T: 8.9 Mbps and Verizon: 7.6 Mbps. So, if your LTE network delivers an average of 5 to 7 Mbps, you are doing good actually. With those speeds, streaming media and
downloading all but the heaviest files is a breeze.

Run Your 4G LTE Speed Tests If you are using any of the above 4G LTE networks, you can run a speed test and post your results in the comments section below. Actually, the more tests you run, the better. Have fun, and thanks for contributing.

Here is the problem i have with theoretical bandwidth, some of my nigerian people will run out and pay so much for bandwidth they dont need.... no single end device needs 21Mbps, it is just waste because of something called flow control. the receiving computer can not handle that much data in such a short time, this will lead to packet dropping.... even if you are running voip, for QOS to be good, u shouldnt need more than 4Mbps dedicated, so enough of them throwing 21 Mbps at us, let them maintain a constant CIR of 3Mbps and we all can stream live football with no qualms

For someone who has tried all networks I can confidently say Smile is the best of them all. I currently have spectranet and smile. Smile on Mifi and spectranet on modern at home. Spectranet is cheap, 30g for N8,000. However, their speed is up to 2mbps. Smile is expensive, 10g for N9,000 but the average speed is 11mbps. I am currently in Abuja, but reside permanently in Lagos, else I would have shown both speed test. Swift is a noise maker and I stopped patronizing them.

bros..... i no believe u......i have a CIR of 3Mbps and i dont get that much data in such a short time..... nairalanders easy oooooo

dude do u believe eti reaches 2mb/s on 3.5G....its simple maths.calculate the possible volume u can download in 15mins @ d rate of 2mb/s.

even at 1.5mb/s...u'll download 90mb in 60 seconds. 90mb x 15mins = 1.35gb.

I am telling you,I get speeds of up to 2.5mb/s at nights in my area.but at other times,its stable between 1.6mb/s and 2mb/s...funny enuf,all dis is on my android phone and not even a modem.

ur just a stupid fellow...continue with ur self contradictory paradox....ur too senseless for me to be wasting my time on u.

ok sir.... your math is accurate but this is where i have a little issue with it. when u are on line, i want you to open ur command line and type netstat.... what you will see is all the sites and online resources that your system is consuming, which means all your etisalat bandwidth are not being used for your download.
one more thing to note is this, there is a chat between your machine and the isp backend, this is equally part of the 2mbps that u get. So if we look at the math, it all looks correct, but in reality, there might be a little challenge to the theory......
come to think of it, how long does Etisalat maintain this 2mbps in an hr's browsing.... that is something else you should consider.......
i didnt meant to argue you but i just wanted to state my little network observance. thanks
